If unemployment is still above 9% in 2012....
How well do you think the, "It's all George Bush's fault" argument going to work in campaign speeches?

It seemed to work so well with the mid-terms :sarcasm:

1. If it still 9% in 2012, we'll have a repug president.
Probably lose the Senate, and maybe win back the House.

2. The problem in 2012 will still be the damage Bush caused and........
.........the four decades of Republican attacks on the middle and working classes that have eliminated decent-paying jobs in America. Yeah, I do expect unemployment to remain high for the foreseeable future.

4. Agreed but....
My point is people aren't going to buy that "Bush's fault" shit anymore when they go to vote. Where were you during the mid-terms when the same argument was used and failed disastrously?

3. If unemployment is still above 9% in 2012
President-elect Hillary Clinton will have her work cut out for her.

8. NO! to Hillary. No more Republicans destroying the Democratic Party
:banghead:
She sat on the board of WalMart and supported her husband's NAFTA. That enough.

5. We'll be very lucky if real unemployment isn't over 17% and
"official" unemployment is still over 9%, with under and unemployment being north of 25%.

6. If UE is 9% or Higher, Shake Hands with President Romney and VP Rubio
Then in 2015, we will have THE biggest economic collapse in U.S. history.

7. I thought we were still blaming
Clinton. ;) Seriously, what kind of job plan to Republicans have other than "give money to the rich, cause they're gonna share it with the rest of us".
